Dear Forum,
a friends of our has a Beovision 7 - 40, MKI, Type 9351, Serial 1910xxxx.
So it is NOT hd-ready.
BUT our ideas are
1. is to connect SAT Reciever (namely Dreambox), that does not use HDCP.I could use - as an example - a Dreambox DM 800 HD SE - to connect it via an Adapter HDMI to DVI-I.
2. Use a converter that gets rid of HDCP...
[PC] would bring up the DVI input, right?If AV4 is set to PC.
What if I register the reciever as DTV(STB)?Would DTV bring up the DVI Input?
Whitout the HD ready module I would need to feed 1.280 x 720 (60 Hz) = 720p.
Has anybody tried this successfully?

I would simply use the scart output of the 'Box' (most ones still have) and let the 'Box' do the conversion.....
....and start saving for a new(er) BV

There is a tv - and there is a BV
I am just trying to give this TV a chance...
LINK to second thread about this...
I am sure it will - even with the scart connection - improve the picture to an old analog signal.
Just saying, don't make things too complicated.
Try it out - and judge before you/he spends money on converters and cables.
